A car accident in Hollywood, California claimed the life of a man who rose to fame with his recurring role on Will & Grace and found a whole new generation of fans thanks to social media. He was thought to have suffered a medical emergency. He was older than 65.
Without the love and light of Leslie Jordan, the world is a lot darker today. He was a mega talent and joy to work with and he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation. He was a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being despite his small stature. Jordan's talent agent said that knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace.
When she was born on April 29, 1955, she was raised in a highly conservative, deeply religious atmosphere and made her television debut in 1986 in The Fall Guy. He got his first regular role in The People Next Door in 1989.
Jordan began his film career in 1988 with a small part in Richard Pryor comedy Moving, and went on to star in a number of films including horror spoofs and comedies.
Jordan played a recurring role in the Married With Children spin-off Top of the Heap. It only lasted six episodes, but it paved the way for more series roles in the drama Bodies of Evidence and the comedy Hearts Afire. He was nominated for an award for his work on Will & Grace and won it.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has a winner.
Three different seasons of Ryan Murphy's anthology American Horror Story made Jordan unique. He was cast in The Cool Kids.
Jordan acted and wrote on stage. In 1993, he created his first autobiographical stage show, "hysterical blindness and other southern tragedies that have plagued my life thus far", which chronicled his early life and featured an actor and a choir singing satirical songs about racism and homophobia. He reprised his role as Earl "Brother Boy" Ingram in the cult film of the same name.
With no shortage of roles, both in comedy and drama, and on television, film and on stage, Jordan was able to tackle social media and gain millions of followers.
The premiere of Cool Kids will be on Friday Sept. 28 at 9:00 PM. The photo was taken by the FOX image collection.
Jordan was in the third season of Call Mekat. The Company's Comin' album features Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, Eddie Vedder and others. How Y'all Doing? was written in 2021. It was a life well lived.
The funniest and flirtiest southern gent I've ever known has passed away. He brought joy and laughter to every episode of Will and Grace. Thirty years too soon, that's how long it's gone. You were loved by many people.
My heart isn't good. Sean said that he had the pleasure of working with one of the funniest people he had ever worked with. He was loved by everyone who met him. No one will be like him. A special talent with a big heart. You will be missed.
There is an episode of Call Me Ken airing on Thursday, September 29th. The photo was taken by Fox.
